OF ALLIANCE, OHIO RADIO CABINET Application filed July 18,

The invention relates to cabinets for containing radio receiving sets, and the objects of the improvement are to provide a cabinet in the form of a spinet desk, having the receiving set located within the same and arranged to be covered by the hinged lid of the cabinet, when not in use; a slidable plate glass shelf being located beneath the receiving set to contain a log chart, and

forming an arm rest for the operator, a novel aerial being embedded in a plate of hard rubber or the like, below said shelf; and a built in loud speaker being located beneath the cabinet and having a goose neck extended upward in rear of the receiving set.

The above and other objects may be attained by constructing the cabinet in the manner illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which;

Fig. l, is a front elevation of the cabinet embodying the invention, showing the lid closed, with a portion of the same broken away;

Fig. 2, a transverse section through the cabinet, taken substantially on the line 22, Figure 1;

Fig. 3, a plan view of the cabinet with parts broken away; and

Fig. i, a detail sectional elevation of the improved aerial.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the drawings.

The cabinet is in the form of a spinet desk, having the box portion 1, arranged to be closed by the double hinged lid or cover 2, and supported at the corners by the legs 3.

The receiving set, which may be of any desired construction may be mounted upon a shelf 4, located in the rear portion of the box, the panel 5, thereof being located substantially beneath the hinge 6, of the lid or cover.

The dials 7, upon the panel, are mounted upon the condenser axles 8, which are journaled in the hard rubber bushings 9, located through the panel.

A sliding shelf 10, is mounted beneath the 59 receiving set and provided with a plate glass 1925. Serial No. 2 L546.

panel 11, beneath which a log chart may be placed as best shown in Figures 2 and 3, forming an arm rest for the operator, but may be pulled outward to refer to the log chart.

The aerial is preferably in the form of a sinuous wire 12, embedded in a plate 13, of hard rubber or the like, located within the box beneath the shelf 10.

The loud speaker 14, is located beneath the box of the cabinet, being flared toward the front side thereof and having its forward edge inclined downward and rearward, as at 15.

I The rear portion of the loud speaker connects with a goose neck 16, extended upward, behind the receiving set, and to a point near one end thereof, where it communicates with the loud speaker unit located within the box 17 From the above description and inspection of the accompanying drawings it will be obvious that a very compact and efficient cabinet is provided, the aerial being entirely inclosed within the cabinet and the sliding shelf providing an arm rest for the operator and also a convenient mounting for the log chart; the loud speaker being practically hidden from view and at the same time so located and proportioned as to produce the best results; the cabinet itself forming an artistic piece of furniture and being arranged to be closed, entirely covering the receiving set when not in use.

I claim:

A radio cabinet comprising a box arranged to house a receiving set in its rear portion, and a slidable shelf in the lower portion of the box, having a glass panel and a log chart located beneath said panel.

In testimony that I claim'the above, I have hereunto subscribed my name.

CHARLES H. DERBY.
